One of the best-known Norse myths is known as ‘The Kidnapping of Iðunn’, in which it is demonstrated just how important this goddess was to the other Norse deities. In this...

new member here, I joined to look for help finding a suitable "wish-you-well" to put on a piece of jewellery; I'm making a silver pendant as a gift to a friend who has a nerdy nerve for vikings and Norse mythology. The plan (so far) is to have on the front side an adaptation of the image of sleipnir on Tjängvide stone, and on the back side I'd like to engrave a theme-fitting phrase or such. Which is where I'm stumped. Could you suggest an aphorism or such, ideally something from the...

I'm working on a novel that's based on Norse Mythology, and was hoping to pick the brains of the gurus here. The main plot of the novel is Loki is trying to start Ragna rök by killing Baldur. (It's sort of a twist on the myth, but keeps to the spirit of the characters, I hope.) I'm trying to add a time-based subplot into the book, something along the lines of some ceremony Loki would want to perform at Midsummer to help him with his task. It could involve an artifact, or a sacrifice,...

It is totally wild; nothing like the Viking myths.
I'm reading the Kalevala, the epic of Finland. It was compiled by Elias Lonnrot in the 1800's from
country folk singers. It tells the story of earth's creation and the birth of Vainamoinen, the main
protaganist. He was born of a woman who fell from the sky and was born already old! (His
gestation took 700 years)!
Another hero is the divine smith...

https://www.mythforum.com/threads/what-happened-to-%C3%93%C3%B0inns-father-b%C3%B3rr-and-grandfather-b%C3%BAri.1324/AlejandroAlejandroThere were gods who were older than Óðinn and his brothers Vé and Vili. Those gods, more ancient than these first three Æsir, were their father Borr and grandfather Búri. Any thoughts (even by way of wanton inventive speculation ) on what happened to them during and after the death of Ymir, when Óðinn, Vé and Vili built and became the chiefs of Ásgard? Do we suppose that they were worshipped like their descendants (at least at...

i really find it hard to research on this one, unlike zeus and hera (from greek myth), info regarding this greek couple is widely known on how they met and how they got married, but info regarding odin and frigg, i think, is really hard to find.
